[Gb] [Bbm] [Db]
[Abm] [Db] [Gb]
With a little while from now, [Bbm] not feeling any less sour
[Db] I [Dbm] promised myself to treat [Bb] myself and visit a nearby [Eb] town
[Abm] Climbing to the top, [Ab] would throw myself off
[Gb] In an effort to make clear to whoever won his life
[F] When you're [Bbm] shattered, left standing in the lurch
[Dbm] At a church where [Eb] people [Abm] sang, my God, that's tough, she stood him [Bm] up
No point in us remaining, [Gb] the day is well gone
[Bbm] As I did [Eb] on my own, [Abm] alone [Db] again
[Gb] Naturally, to think that only yesterday
[Bbm] I was cheerful, [Db] bright and gay
[Dbm] Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do the role I was [Eb] about to play
[Abm] But as if to knock me down, [Ab] the cavity came around
[Gb] Without so much as a mere touch, [Ebm] cut me into [F] little pieces
[Bbm] Leaving me to doubt, [Dbm] talk about God in [Eb] His mercy
[Abm] Oh, if He really does exist, [Bm] why did He deserve you [Gb] in my heart?
[Bbm] Truly I'm [Eb] indeed [Abm] alone again
[Db] [Gb] Actually, [A] it seems to me that there are more [E] hearts broken in the world
That can't be [Ab] mended, [Db] left [A] unattended
What do we [Db] do?
[Abm] What do we do?

[Abm] [Db] Alone again, [Gb] naturally
Looking back over the years, [Bbm] whatever else that it is
[Dbm] I remember I cried when my father died, [Bb] never wishing to hide the [Eb] tears
[Abm] Sixty-five years old, [Bm] a mother God rest her soul
[Gb] Couldn't understand why the only man she had ever loved
Had [F] been taken, [Bbm] leaving her just off [Dbm] with a heart so [Eb] badly broken
[Abm] Despite encouragement from me, [Ab] no words were ever spoken
[Gb] When she passed away, [Bbm] I cried and cried [Eb] all day
[Abm] Alone again, [Db] [Bbm] naturally
[Eb] Alone
